The Dolphins could lose safety Chris Clemons as a free agent, which would leave a hole in the secondary as Clemons has started the last 32 games for Miami. If Delmas did land with the Dolphins, he’d likely slot in next to Reshad Jones when the 2014 season gets underway

He's be an interesting replacement for Clemons. But I'm skeptical that he's an upgrade.

At this point in his career, I'm not sure if Delmas is an upgrade either. As far as injuries, he played about as many plays as Clemons did last year.

It is hard to say how well Clemons can play. He actually played better than Rashad Jones last year, but he was also in a contract year. Jones played outstanding in his contract year, but played poorly last year despite the Dolphins having the 4th best pass rushing efficiency in the NFL last year.

I think Jones will have a bounce back season. I'm not too worried about his play slipping. I think he's a good player that will make plays for us this season. As far as Clemons, he fits squarely into that mediocre starter role. He's never going to make the Pro Bowl, but he's never going to get beaten out by somebody like Jimmy Wilson either. I hope the Dolphins re-sign him to a one or two year deal, and draft a safety in the 3rd or 4th round to develop behind him and hopefully replace him in a year or two.

My personal hope is that we re-sign Clemons and draft Craig Loston from LSU in the 3rd round. If you don't know who Loston is, you need to watch this:http://youtu.be/OoYrn6nhdM4

I will keep going on unrelated questions Rich. IF you had the chance, would you trade either Wallace or Wake if you knew you were getting a 2nd round pick for each in return? I know their are cap ramifications too, so in the bigger picture would you do it?

He's a stud player for sure. I love his aggressive playing style. Over the last five years our defensive backs have been anything but aggressive and its led to lousy tackling. You want a guy like this to set the tone and make the receivers start hearing footsteps. While it may cost you a penalty every two or three games, I think the physical tone it sets is well worth it. Pairing him up with Jones would give us an excellent safety duo.

I'd still re-sign Clemons just in case Loston isn't ready to start the season though. Clemons could start the season and give us a quality stop-gap until Loston has learned the defense and is ready to play.

No.

Only for a high first and only if I feel I can replace them with that 1st in the draft.

I also thought about Jarius Byrd but can we afford him at a time like this?

What I want to know is who do we Tag, and what the hell is Dion Jordan doing so wrong that they don't want him at LB. Vernon and Wake at DE's and Jordan playing Outside LB could be really something....

Byrd will be pricey for sure. Cleveland will certainly be a team heavily involved, as his former DC is the new coach of the Browns. Cleveland also has more cap room than any team in the NFL.

Not sure what to make of these trade rumors. It does not make any sense to me at all.

The Dolphins are reportedly "very interested" in free agent FS Louis Delmas.Delmas -- a South Florida native -- visited Miami on Friday, but left without signing a deal. The impactful yet oft-injured safety has also drawn interest from the Falcons and Saints. He'd be an upgrade on free agent Chris Clemons and would provide stiff competition for Jimmy Wilson, who could be converted from a nickel corner to a safety.

That would only leave us with Pat Devlin for the time being....not a very smart move in my eyes for this year.

If Tannehill goes down, we put Moore in the position to win us a meaningless 2 more games, and push us further down the 1st round? That's how I look at it, this team is not competing for anything special with Tannehill not behind center.
